About the Level 2 Training


This is a specialised course with the main focus on healing and inclusion. This course is about accommodating and helping relieve suffering of students with special conditions. This course is also very much about self development of the teacher in order to be able to share this ancient practice from a place of silence, wisdom and love.

This course offers in depth information on topics of interest to experienced practitioners as well as experienced students looking to deepen their practice, understanding and teaching of Yoga. The course is run by specialty teachers looking to share their own experiences, practice and tips on specialized topics such as Yoga philosophy, Yoga therapy and Aerial Yoga.

The focus of this training is not only to develop teaching skills and understanding of the Yoga practice but also to create the most suitable environment for maximum growth and transformation through self enquiry, reflection and self study. This will help trainees build not only the knowledge but strength, wisdom and love in order to be able to apply the principles and teachings of Yoga into their lives and teaching.  

Students who successfully complete this Level 2 Training are automatically accepted to individually register with Yoga Alliance USA (fee applies) as a RYT 500. Details can be obtained from their website www.yogaaliance.org

Your Silent Retreat


Silence will be observed for most of the last week of the Level 2 YTT
Last week’s schedule (2017) –
In today’s world, we are continuously bombarded and stimulated by worldly things TV, music, internet, phone and so on. We fill every minute of our day, rarely taking any time away from it all to evaluate what we need to live a healthier more peaceful life. The gift of Silence is an opportunity to see clearly beyond that busyness, beyond that everyday noise that create stress & imbalances for us. In silence, we hear the unspoken and we feel the unseen.
The last week of this training is designed to help you take an intense journey that is designed to hasten your spiritual journey and understanding of the self. In order to truly be able to deliver the message of Yoga, we need to drop all sense of individual desires, misunderstandings and clutter in order to help serve ourselves, and others better.

Accommodation booking
After your application is complete and you have been accepted onto the Level 2 Training, and after you have transferred your holding deposit, your on-site twin share accommodation booking will be secured.  

Silent Retreat Venue Details 
Greenland is an Ashram situated at around 12 km from Ramanashramam 4 km off the main highway to Bangalore.
Located in Rural Tiruvanamalai, it offers a serene, beautiful and picturesque scenery with the holy mountain of Arunachala standing out on the south east side of the property. Isolated from village and town, It is an unique setting of Peace and Beauty.

This Ashram started off as just a few cottages for pilgrims, friends or travelers to enjoy the beautiful view and serene atmosphere of Arunachala. With time, it turned into the perfect place in which to remind ourselves of the fundamental values of life, and give us the spiritual awakening for the good of all. 
The founders, A. Phillippe and Kiran are devotees of Sathya Sai Baba
